Quranic memorisation refers to the systematic and gradual practice of consistently reading the Quran, enabling individuals to commit it to memory and recite it without relying on the physical text. Furthermore, although there is an increasing amount of research on the influence of Quranic memorisation on different cognitive functions, there is a notable lack of information regarding its precise effects on semantic memory. This study aimed to identify and evaluate the proficiency of Quran memorisation strategies among memorisers at Maahad Integrasi Tahfiz Selangor (MITS) Klang, based on their gender. This study was conducted at MITS Alam Impian using a survey approach. Based on the breakdown of the highest percentage and frequency of practice of the Quran memorisation technique, it is proposed that the technique most often used by both gender categories is "memorising the literal meaning of the verses (S2)." This study concludes that female Quran memorisers often practice the technique of "memorising the literal meaning of the verses." Future studies should continue to explore the subtleties of semantic memory in Quran memorisation, which could potentially lead to innovative approaches that religious educational contexts worldwide can adopt, thereby enriching the spiritual and educational journey of Quran memorisers embarking on the noble quest of Quran memorisation.
